List of active United States Air Force aircraft squadrons

This is an organized list of all of the active aircraft squadrons that currently exist in the United States Air Force, sorted by type. Most squadrons have changed names and designations many times over the years, so they are listed by their current designation. Squadrons are only listed if flying aircraft is their primary mission (other units such as certain Student Squadrons & Training Squadrons, Test Squadrons, Operations Support Squadrons, and Group / Wing / NAF / MAJCOM staffs may have large contingents of aircrew assigned, but they do not "own" aircraft and their mission does not necessarily revolve around flying. Those squadrons maintain Administrative Control (ADCON) of those attached personnel, while the operational flying squadrons retain Operational Control (OPCON)). Aircraft are separated based on MDS (not MWS).^{[n 1]} Provisional "Expeditionary" Squadrons are listed. The squadron's group assignment is listed (instead of the wing) if the group is not labelled an Operations Group, or if the parent wing does not share their group's same number. Detachments are listed under their own menu when assigned to a Group-level unit or higher.
